Deacon Ministry, Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church
Ministry is individual, redemptive, loving service given inside and outside the church under the leadership of the Holy Spirit which meets people's needs and fulfills the church's mission.
Deacon's Ministry Purpose
The Deacon ministry shall serve under the leadership of the Pastor and help him in performing duties in order to free him for the ministry of the Word. We are servants working together to meet the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of the church as empowered through the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Responsibilities of the Deacon's Ministry
In accordance with the meaning of the word "Diokonos " in the New Testament, deacons are ministering servants of the church. We are to be members of this church whose character and qualifications are specified in Timothy 3:8-13, Acts 6:1-6, and Titus 1:6-9. Our task is to serve with the pastor and staff in performing the pastoral ministries of our church. Some of these duties include (but not limited to):
- To demonstrate Christ-like consecration, leadership, loyalty, prayer support and faithfulness to the church in achievement of its mission
- To minister to believers and unbelievers
- To care for the church's members and others in the community
- To demonstrate consistent stewardship through tithing to the church
- To visit the bereaved, home bound, hospitalized and those in need of the church and community
- To encourage and strengthen new converts and the spiritually weak
- To assist with the church Ordinances of Baptism, The Lord's Supper
Basic Conviction
Being in agreement with the chief purpose of the church means accomplishing God's purposes for His glory and not what seems comfortable or reasonable to us. Our ministry strives to demonstrate the leadership of our Lord through service and not to achieve a place of honor or power.
